First, thank you for creating such an awesome library! Also, I LOVE the new text stroking function! My workarounds to implement this in previous versions were vastly inferior to the new functionality you added! Bravo!

However, I am seeing a slight issue with the stroking. It appears to be offset when running on linux. I've only tried one version of linux (outlined below). The same code works as expected in windows (as illustrated below).

What did you do?

I tried to add a text overlay with stroking to an image.

What did you expect to happen?

The text stroking would appear, and not be offset.

What actually happened?

The text stroking was offset, making the stroke appear to be a shadow. See this image generated from my stand alone sample:

However, when using windows, I do not see the issue. Here is another overlay done with windows using the same program:

Here the outlines are crisp and not offset.

What are your OS, Python and Pillow versions?

• OS: Raspbian GNU/Linux Version 9 (stretch)
• Python: 2.7 & 3.7 (I haven't tried any other versions)
• Pillow: 6.2.2

from PIL import Image, ImageDraw, ImageFont def create_overlay(font_path): image_color = (128,128,128,255) # Create an image with background color inverse to the text color. image = Image.new('RGB', (640, 480), color=image_color) text = "Sample Overlay Text" text_color_tuple = 255,255,255,255 outline_color_tuple = 0,0,0,255 font = ImageFont.truetype(font_path, size=48) # Create the image to draw on. text_image = Image.new('RGBA', image.size, (255, 255, 255, 0)) d = ImageDraw.Draw(text_image) # overlay location x, y = 0, 0 # Draw overlay text. d.multiline_text( xy=(x, y), text=text, fill=text_color_tuple, font=font, align='left', stroke_width=2, stroke_fill=outline_color_tuple ) return Image.alpha_composite(image.convert('RGBA'), text_image).convert('RGB') if __name__ == '__main__': image = create_overlay('/home/pi/fonts/DejaVu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf') image.save("/home/pi/temp.jpg")

Obviously you will need to adjust the font location and the save location to get this to work, but it shouldn't require much modification. Please let me know if you need a better sample, or any additional information.

Thanks!
